UNSPSC 50436706: Dried organic japanese yams

The variety of organic yams known as organic japanese yams that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50436706 Dried organic Japanese yams, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span kidney beans (Georgia Correctional Industries), black beans and pinto/red beans (Oregon), a CACFP meal program covering multiple food categories (City of Edinburg, Texas), a broad food and kitchen products solicitation (Georgia), a multi-category cafeteria food products procurement (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and a weekly food order (State of Illinois). None of these solicitations center on dried organic Japanese yams; instead, they represent institutional bulk procurement of staple dried beans, fresh and canned produce, proteins, dairy, and ancillary food-service supplies for correctional facilities, schools, and state agencies. The issuing bodies are state corrections departments, state purchasing divisions, municipalities, and state agencies across Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois—a mix typical of institutional food procurement across multiple jurisdictions and customer types.

The geographic spread covers Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, with the most recent activity dating from August and October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Georgia Correctional Industries' RFQ for 880-bag increments of kidney beans (due October 9, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026, with a 10% evaluation preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors and a historical reference price of $0.493 per pound), and the City of Edinburg's RFP for CACFP meal program supplies across five categories—beverages, paper goods, proteins, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items—serving 400 children daily with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 (proposals due August 4, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dried organic Japanese yams) and actual recent procurement activity suggests the code is not currently capturing state and local demand in this category or the tagging is misaligned with actual commodity purchasing.
